Q&A-DO I STAY FOR THE KIDS?

2:21 AM Posted by MS.NOVA


I married young and after 7 years with my husband, the relationship stalled out. We'd grown up and apart and I really feel like I lost the young woman I used to be and all that came with it. Things I loved to do were distant memories and my dream of being a chef and running a small hotel, well that is long gone too.

Being Portuguese, I was raised to believe that divorce is not an option - even if you're miserable. I thought maybe a baby would jump start us! Wrong. Our son is now 4 and my husband and I are strangers. He spends ALL his time online and never communicates with me. Counseling is out of the question.

Its been over a year since we had sex, well, since I had sex, he might be cheating for all I know. Last week, he picked my son and I up at the airport and I didn't even get a hello, a hug, an "I missed you". I think it's over. I'm scared to be judged by family and friends but...

Do I have to be the bad person and ask for a divorce?
Is that my last resort after 12 years?

(I was talking to a woman on the plane and this was her story.
She'll be reading your advice so please respond!)
